Evergreen Aviation Museum, McMinnville, Oregon

I visited the Evergreen Aviation Museum during the summer of 2002. I posted pictures from the museum on my website in November 2002 on a page called “Airplane Pics.” When I rebuilt my website in 2004, I turned the page into a PLACES page.

The Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon originally opened on November 15, 1991, the dream of Evergreen International Aviation Founder and CEO Delford M. Smith and his son, U. S. Air Force Captain Michael King Smith. Captain Smith was killed in an auto accident in 1995, and the museum was renamed in his memory as the Captain Michael King Smith Evergreen Aviation Educational Institute. The museum’s current home opened on the anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 2001. Today the museum is home to over 50 historical aircraft.
